0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Mark Groves podcast.
0:10.5	Well, May is Mental Health Awareness Month.
0:14.1	And today, as this episode airs, is Thursday, May 20th, and it is Mental Health Action Day. And so this episode is
0:23.9	to inform us about what that might mean, some ways that it's being modeled in terms of companies,
0:30.7	and also just taking action. You know, the actual act of listening to a podcast that's about
0:37.4	improving oneself or expanding one's knowledge the actual act of listening to a podcast that's about improving oneself or expanding
0:39.5	one's knowledge is an act of putting a deposit in to our mental, emotional, relational health.
0:45.6	Just wanting to improve our relationships, obviously will very much contribute to our mental health.

2:22.9	And, you know, today we're going to talk about Mind, the app that I co-founded with my good friend Aaron Albert,

2:36.0	about the platform. So it's a lot like, you know, Peloton meets Netflix for emotional, relational,

2:50.5	It's live and on-demand classes on all these different mind and chill if you want to do. It's live and on demand classes on all these
